Clubhouse Generalist (Case Manager/SSW) - Journey House

Davis Behavioral Health, Inc. is seeking a full-time employee to perform duties as a Clubhouse Generalist (Case Manager/Social Service Worker) at Journey House, a program which promotes the Clubhouse Model of Psychiatric Rehabilitation to members with severe and prolonged mental illness. This position is based at the clubhouse located at 2250 North 1700 West in Layton, Utah. The successful candidate will report to the Journey House Program Director and join a strong team of dedicated professionals.

What is Journey House?

Journey House Clubhouse (JH) is a community based psycho-social rehabilitation program where adults with persistent mental illness can rebuild their self-respect and confidence. We provide a supportive and accepting community in which members can gain a sense of belonging and accomplishment through education, productive work, and meaningful relationships.

Journey House Clubhouse is not a treatment facility. It is a unique supportive and collaborative setting where those who participate in our programs are "members" rather than clients. JH is one of over 300 Clubhouse programs world-wide that is certified by Clubhouse International.

Journey House Clubhouse is a place for members to integrate themselves into the community and assist them in achieving their life's goals.

​Journey House is a place where you are always Welcome, Wanted, and Needed!

What is your role at Journey House?

Journey House is looking for an individual to for in a fast-paced environment that is flexible, adaptable, and capable of having fun!

The belief that recovery is possible for people with mental illness must be a core social work value as you will work with the members to identify their strengths and challenges and as they work towards the goal of pursuing meaning and productive work, personal, and social life. The members are the foundation of Journey House. You should have exceptional interpersonal skills and the ability to develop and maintain meaningful relationships with people from various walks of life and diverse backgrounds. You need to be a strong team member (willing to provide coverage in all units, as needed), self-starter, creative thinker, and can engage many individuals at one time.

Why is the Clubhouse model different?

The following testimonials from current and former Journey House members illustrate how a different approach to mental health treatment has helped them work towards recovery:

“It’s been a longer journey than I’d ever thought it would be. Somehow…I make it through every day, and I am thankful for being alive. I take each day and use it as an example of what not to do and what to do. Journey House has helped me out more than anything else has. At Journey House, once you are a member you are always a member, and I take that to my heart. Thank you to all staff members for letting me be myself and explore the possibilities of life.” – 30-year mental health diagnosis veteran.

“People help me be productive even when I am reluctant to work. They may not think so but them being who they are and with some effort to improve-helps me to form good associations.” – 48-year mental health diagnosis veteran.

“Journey House helps me so much because if I stay home, I get depressed. With Journey House I have friends and I get to work, plus it is nice to have a place to celebrate holidays.” – 33-year mental health diagnosis veteran.

“Before Journey House I was isolating, but now I have a reason to get out of the house. I have friends, I am productive; I was able to get a job. The weekend activities are a lot of fun and get me out on the weekends.” – 26-year mental health diagnosis veteran.

“Journey House got me more involved in specific activities in the clubhouse and in the community. It's given me a start in focusing on the outside world and doing the things necessary to be successful.” – 35-year mental health diagnosis veteran.

“I have bad social anxiety, but I am more willing to be social because of Journey House. Because I realize that there are a lot of other people around here that have the same issue that I do, and everyone has their problems. I like Journey House… and candy and Journey House has candy.” – 4-year mental health diagnosis veteran.
